Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore predicted Tuesday that the city will see more than 300 homicides this year — a level not reached in L.A. in more than a decade.
Moore said there had been 266 homicides in the city as of Saturday, representing a nearly 25% increase over the same period last year and surpassing the total number of homicides in all of 2019, when there were 253 killings in the city, and 2018, when there were 260 total killings.
Speaking during a virtual meeting of the Police Commission, Moore called the pace of violence in 2020 a “terrible loss” and an “erosion” of progress that had been made reducing gun violence in the city in recent years.
The last time the city broke 300 homicides was in 2009, when there were 312 killings in the city.

So what new scheme and dream will they come up with..
Third world city. Third world crime rate.
No wonder people are fleeing L.A. as fast as they can.
The house next door to me (I live outside of LA in a separate city) went up for sale and within hours had 14 buyers, 10 of which started a bidding war. The house was sold for far more than it was offered. There is no “defund the police” here.
Relative in Central California said same: Homes selling in her neighborhood for vastly more than the sale price, some sold sight unseen.
L.A. is on the road to becoming a combination of Detroit and Mexico City - the worst parts.
I left there over 27 years ago because I NO LONGER felt safe.
Don’t miss it.
